6 CD-Set, the third volume of outstanding Krautrock that will surely do your head in… again! Krautrock was (and still is) a musical phenomenon that sprouted in Germany in the late '60s and early '70s. Combining elements of Psychedelia, Prog Rock, Art Rock and Avant-garde, Krautrock became a movement unto itself. This 64 track anthology features cuts from Birth Control, Nektar, Anyone's Daughter, Guru Guru, Eloy, Pell Mell, and many others.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock musicNECRONOMICON named themselves after a H.P.Lovecraft book mainly because the themes they were touching upon lyrically were much the same as those in that book. The title of this album according to the liner notes means "Some practical ways on how to commit suicide" and refers to what mankind is doing to the planet by exploiting and destroying it. The vocals are sung in German, and like the music they are not pleasant. The music does have that heavy garage rock sound, very raw with those violent guitar leads.

Another act involving Harri Stojka. The "Gipsy Love" band seems to have been the starting point for many other careers, including those of Karl Ratzer, Peter Wolf, and Richard Schönherz. Karl Ratzer (guitar) and Harri Stojka (bass with Gipsy Love) are cousins, both of Roma ancestry, which may explain the bands' name…

Mirkwood were from Dover, Kent, in England. They played progressive rock with two guitars and a thought-provoking text. They owed not only to their musical abilities, but also to their capacity of transforming new ideas into music that they were among the leading bands in Kent. Their one and only LP (Flams Ltd. PR 1067) was recorded on 17 January 1973. It still was released in the very same year in a number of only 99 pieces. Thus, today it is worth about 1000€ when in mint condition. New legal releases appeared on Tenth Planet in 1993, and on Amber Soundroom in 2004. A CD was yet to come. The one here on hand comes along with a 32-page booklet full of information…

Until this release on Garden of Delights, the one and only LP of the Fürth-based band Da Capo couldn’t be heard yet on CD. Only 500 copies had been made then and half of them were destroyed. Thus, today the disc belongs to the most expensive three or four German rock records ever. Its sound is more like West Coast, brand Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service or Jefferson Airplane. The LP’s reviews reached from trivial to great. Legitimate re-releases on LP were the 1988 edition on Little Wing of Refugees and the 2004 edition on Amber Soundroom. The available release on Garden of Delights (hopefully) is everything you could possibly wish for concerning its representation.
